Can you put links up to cars painted those colors? I couldn't tell you what any of those look like without seeing a picture. No sense in voting if I don't know what I'm voting for.

Personal opinion, ALL GM orange colors are too red unless in DIRECT sunlight... which.... make it look like orange maroon... blech.

The sunburst yellow looks alot better in person but the poor light hurts the outcome of the photos.
